Childhood has disappeared

There are many theories about childhood and one of them was suggested by Neil Postman. He argued that in western European countries childhood has disappeared. Of cource, we can't say that with a full confidence as we know that it can't disappear at all. But here is a talk about the reduction of a period of childhood in twenty first century. Recently before such achievements in developing technologies the boundary between adult world and childhood was seen very clear. But in the modern world 'the information and communications revolution at the turn of the twenty-first century has delivered the end of childhood' because now the distance between adults and children has changed by children's adoption of information and communication technologies that is now everything is accessible for children.
